Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Radicchio
- 2 cups Arugula
- 1 medium Orange
- 1 medium Grapefruit
- 1 large Avocado
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the radicchio. Remove any wilted outer leaves, cut the head in half, and then into quarters. Slice each quarter into thin strips.
Place the sliced radicchio in a large salad bowl along with the arugula.
Peel the orange and grapefruit. Carefully segment them, removing any seeds and pith. Save any juice that collects in the process for the dressing.
Add the citrus segments to the salad bowl.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut it into thin slices and add to the salad.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and any saved citrus juices to form the dressing.
Season the dressing with salt and black pepper, then drizzle it over the salad ingredients.
Gently toss the salad using salad tongs or clean hands, ensuring even distribution of the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
